Chapter 140 Instructions
Li Taohua looked up and around while picking vegetables. When she saw the figure of her 'prey', she picked three vegetables in one breath and put them in her backpack. She picked up the basket and walked back.
Li Erniu walked with great effort, carrying a load of firewood that was taller than her. She no longer had the arrogance she once had, and her whole body was lifeless. If she hadn't been breathing, she wouldn't have looked alive.
Bang! Li Taohua bumped into him.
Li Erniu kept her head down as she walked, not noticing Li Taohua. She was completely lost in thought, and instinctively turned aside when she heard footsteps. Who would have thought she would bump into him?
Li Erniu was carrying a large bundle of firewood when Li Taohua deliberately bumped into her and she fell into the vegetable patch next to her.
She was lying there in an extremely awkward position, her face full of rage. When she glared at him fiercely, she realized that the person who bumped into her was Li Taohua, and she shuddered instinctively.
Ever since her last argument with Li Taohua, where she and Tang Baoyu had suffered, she'd been living in hell. Every time Tang Jizu came home, he'd beat her up, and even Tang Baoyu and that old woman would pick on her whenever they felt angry. Seeing Li Taohua now reminded her of that torture, and she developed a fear of her.
"Oh, I didn't mean to," Li Taohua apologized insincerely. "Baoyu's mother, you're so pitiful. You work like a slave in the countryside all day, doing all the housework by yourself, while the woman your husband keeps in the city wears gold and silver, wears exquisite makeup, and wears silk and satin. Her face is as white and tender as a little girl. Oh, and they even have a son. Your Tang Baoyu was spoiled, while the son he and that woman kept is well-behaved and sensible, and he's even been sent to school."
"Nonsense, impossible!" Li Erniu broke free from the ropes that bound her, climbed up, and yelled at Li Taohua, "You want to destroy our relationship? I won't believe you."
"Oh, forget it." Li Taohua walked away with the backpack on her back.
Li Erniu screamed at Li Taohua, "I won't believe you. You vicious woman, don't even think about ruining my life."
Li Taohua rolled her eyes beautifully and muttered to herself, "If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't have such a big reaction. What a pathetic woman, still clinging to a man who abused her."
Li Taohua achieved her goal and was in an exceptionally good mood.
Tang Jizu had been making things difficult for her in the city, and she had been making things difficult for him as well. Instead of thinking about how to avenge him, she should think about how to eliminate the root of the problem.
What Tang Jizu did in the city was not something that could be made public. If his deeds were brought to light, his proud career would be completely overturned.
"You little ones, come here..." Li Taohua saw a few children and waved to them.
The children recognized Li Taohua and, remembering their family's warnings, instinctively tried to slip away. However, Li Taohua pulled out a few candies from her purse.
"Aunt Li..."
"Aunt Taohua..."
"Pretty aunt..."
Li Taohua was happy and gave one to each of the others, and two to the little girl who called her beautiful aunt.
"I'll tell you a secret..." Li Taohua said, "Tang Baoyu..."
Tang Baoyu appeared, bounding and skipping. Seeing some of his fellow villagers playing with pebbles, he went over and said, "I want to play too."
"We won't play with you." The dark-skinned child sniffed, "Because you always beat your mother, your father doesn't want you anymore and found someone else to have a son with. "
"Nonsense! My dad loves me the most. He always brings me delicious food when he comes home." Tang Baoyu's defense was broken and he retorted angrily. "What gives you the right to say that?"
"Someone saw your father holding the hand of a very beautiful aunt, and that aunt was holding the hand of a very cute child, and that child could even read."
"You're so ugly and you like to hit people. Your father definitely doesn't want you anymore. He hasn't been home for a long time, and he might never come back."
"Let's not play with him."
Tang Baoyu burst into tears.
However, the children had already run away and didn't care how heartbreakingly he cried there.
Li Taohua stood outside the yard, listening to the noises in the village.
There is a characteristic in the village, that is, when quarreling, the noise must be loud, and the noise can be used to suppress the other party first, so that the possibility of winning the quarrel is greater.
For example, at this moment, Tang Baoyu's grandmother took Tang Baoyu to debate with the families of several children in the village. Her voice was like thunder, and it could be heard not only across a few acres of land, but even across the mountains.
"Oh, our child is only six years old, how could he know those strange things? Now that it has reached his ears, I am afraid that he will hear it when someone else tells him. I say, Grandma Baoyu, you should ask your son. If your son really gave you a grandson who is both good at studying and well-behaved, you should be happy!"
Tang Baoyu's face wasn't exactly cute and well-behaved. Grandma Tang's voice fell silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, it wasn't as powerful. After all, if it was true, it would be a good thing for her.
The farce ended in vain.
"Peach Blossom..." Zhou's voice came.
Li Taohua turned around and saw Zhang Dazhu driving an ox cart towards her.
She moved aside and waited for Zhang Dazhu to drive the ox cart in before she followed him into the yard.
Zhang Dazhui tied up the ox cart.
Carpenter Zhang was moving those things.
Zhou walked towards Li Taohua with a smile on her face: "Taohua, thank you, I really did it."
"How much did you sell?" Li Taohua asked in a low voice.
"Ninety cents." Zhou was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling because she made money with her own ability for the first time.
However, when she saw Carpenter Zhang next to her, she restrained herself a little.
Zhou leaned closer to Li Taohua and said, "Huiyin was right. My husband blames me for this, but Dazhu is very supportive and said he will be the head of the family from now on."
"Your son is more reliable than a man, so listen to him." Li Taohua said, "Some men are just mean. The worse you treat them, the more they'll get ahead of you. You have a son, so don't spoil him."
Carpenter Zhang touched his head and said with shame, "Sister-in-law, I will listen to Dazhu from now on."
"Don't tell me that. I'm not from your family." Li Taohua said unhappily, "Look at my sister Zhou's hands and the clothes she's wearing. How can you be worthy of her?"
"Aunt Taohua, has my grandma come today?" Zhang Dazhu asked.
"She's been here." Li Taohua recounted the incident, describing how Grandma Zhang had come to their house and banged on the door after sitting on the floor and throwing a tantrum. "Be prepared, she might come again tonight."
"Thank you, auntie. We'll go back first and thank you another day," said Zhang Dazhui.
"Let's eat together tonight! We'll invite Tie Niu and the others to have hotpot together tonight. It'll be more lively with more people, so you can come too." Li Taohua made an invitation.
"No need, sister-in-law. You also said that there would be more noise tonight, and we don't want to spoil your fun. Let's do it another day. When I have enough money, I will treat you to dinner." Zhou said.
